Top 13 Foodlunatic Recipes of 2013

It's the end of the year and I have been cooking like a mad... well - foodlunatic. I have managed to cook and post 77 new recipes this year with dishes influenced by cuisines from many parts of the world including: African, American, Asian, Chinese, Cuban, Dominican, Ethiopian, European, Filipino, Fusion, Ghanaian, Indian, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Mexican, Peruvian, Spanish, Soul Food, Thai and Vietnamese - to name a few.

2013 has been a great year in the kitchen and I've truly enjoyed sharing and posting the recipes of newly discovered flavors from all over the world. To celebrate this year's recipes I've put together a list of the most read 2013 recipes on this blog. Without further due, here are...

Quick oven roasted fish fillets are a great way to cook fish evenly while keeping the meat moist and flaky. This 20 minute recipe roast Tilapia and kale together and is served with a white wine sauce flavored with lime and cilantro.

Meatball soups are a great dish for a fall or winter night. This one pot meal uses beef meatballs spiced with onions and fennel cooked in chicken broth with Swiss Chard, Farfalle pasta and Parmesan cheese

Another quick meal, these pork chops are marinated with garlic, lime and soy sauce and served with a spicy Dominican-style Wasakaka sauce made with lime juice, garlic, onions, Serrano peppers, parsley and olive oil.

A common dish on most Thai restaurant menus, this richly flavor soup simmers chicken in a coconut milk based soup flavored with curry, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal and thai chiles. Mushrooms, tomatoes and baby corn offer lots of veggies to make it a one pot meal.

These delicious sticky chicken wings have the signature Spanish flavors of garlic and chili. A quick and easy oven roasted recipe that can be done in 35 minutes. Lime or lemon wedges go great with this finger licking good dish.

This dish came in as the second most read recipe on Foodlunatic.com in 2013. The simple yet flavorful steamed chicken recipe combines the flavors of green onions, ginger, vegetable oil and white wine served over an oven steamed chicken breast.
